WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING:

Comments about the Yesplus program from students at Stanford. A 3-day version of this program is taught in MED130 as part of the meditation retreat.

“The techniques I learned in the class continually allow me to be the best that I can be as a student, a leader, and a person. They have taught me to manage my stress and emotions, increase focus and concentration to perform better academically and take the most I can from Stanford, and have an overall sense of well-being, happiness, and clarity in all aspects of my life. The teachers of the program are phenomenal and create a truly positive space for people to connect to each other and feel a sense of belongingness that is so beneficial in such a large institution, especially as a freshman.”​

“I can confidently say that MED 130, or YesPlus, has been the most influential class I’ve taken at Stanford. Why? Because it taught me about connection, belonging, awareness, compassion—about myself."

"​The stress-management tools Yesplus offers have been extremely instrumental in freeing me from a once paralyzing fear of public speaking and low self-confidence. Apart from stress-relief, this program provides a space for much-needed self-reflection. This program helped me gain a greater sense of purpose at Stanford, by viewing my education from a broader perspective. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of participating in this program and the positive effects it has begun to bring about in me.”
